Lakeview is part of Exemplar Health Care, a leading provider of nursing care for adults living with complex and high acuity needs. We support adults living with complex mental health needs, dementia, neuro-disabilities including Huntington’s disease, and physical disabilities. We offer stable and secure employment opportunities, great benefits and perks, and plenty of opportunities to learn, develop and progress.

Our Health Care Assistants support people to live their best lives, whatever that looks like to them. No two days will be the same, but your day-to-day responsibilities will include:

• Assisting people at meal times
• Understanding individual health and wellbeing needs
• Encouraging and supporting people to take part in social activities, both in and out of the home
• Promoting choice, dignity, independence and respect
• Completing and maintaining care records

We have higher-than-average staffing levels when compared to other care providers. There are usually up to six colleagues on each unit that supports around ten people, giving you more time to spend with the people you support.

We offer great rewards and perks including:

• Regular supervision, peer support, learning opportunities and career prospects
• Access to wages before payday
• Retail and lifestyle discounts
• Free DBS check
• 24/7 counselling and support
• Blue Light Card eligibility

We value relevant experience and qualifications, but they aren’t essential for this role. You’re someone who identifies with our values of fun, integrity, responsiveness, success and teamwork. You’re also:

• caring, kind, understanding and calm
• able to deal with, and defuse, challenging situations
• energetic and outgoing, with a positive, can-do attitude
• a great listener and communicator

You’ll put people at the heart of everything you do.

If you haven’t worked in the care sector before, we’ll help you feel right at home from the start with our induction, buddy and ongoing training programmes.
